You can block a part for order registration, reporting, material withdrawal and preparation. Blocks are configured under the General tab in the Update Part procedure in the Inventory, Sales or Purchase modules.
A part blocked from registration or reporting is displayed with its part number or operation number respectively in red and bold text in the Update Part procedure in the different modules and in the procedures Preparation, Adding/Replanning, Order Info and Comprehensive Reporting.
In the table below it is described from which actions you can block a part and which procedures a block will effect.
Please Note! Be observant of the block management in combination with structure parts. For example it can be a problem if a manufacturing order is registered for a structure part which has an incorporated part blocked for Reporting manufacturing order. When you then report that order you will not be able to report the incorporated blocked part.
